Ukrainian MP says Donbass inhabitants are cockroaches that should be poisoned

Member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, Yevgeny Rybchinsky, compared the inhabitants of Donbass with cockroaches and proposed to destroy them with dichlorvos (poison used for insect infestation.) Rybchinsky wrote this on his Facebook page.

“I’m not interested in the life of cockroaches. Even if a million of them are born in my kitchen, this will not mean that the kitchen will belong to them. No statuses and special regimes for cockroaches, only dichlorvos and a lot of dichlorvos.”- wrote Rybchinsky.

Are these even people? Public statements like these by a public person only indicate which party here is more insect-like.
